Correct methods for operating accelerator and brake: 1. For manual transmission vehicles with clutch pedal, brake pedal and accelerator pedal, the driver's left foot only controls the clutch pedal while the right foot operates both brake and accelerator pedals. When decelerating, the driver should first press the clutch pedal with the left foot, then step on the brake pedal with the right foot. 2. For automatic transmission vehicles equipped with brake and accelerator pedals, simply pressing the brake pedal directly achieves deceleration. The brake, also known as the deceleration device, refers to the action of stopping or reducing speed for operating locomotives, vehicles, other transport tools or machinery. The accelerator doesn't control fuel injection volume but regulates throttle opening size - smaller openings allow less air-fuel mixture into cylinders, resulting in lower engine power output, and vice versa.

Is it mandatory to install a license plate frame?

License plate frames are not mandatory. Traffic regulations stipulate that fixed license plate holders can be used, but the inner edge of the holder must be more than 5cm away from the edge of the license plate number. Additionally, the frame must not display any logos, characters, or decorative patterns, nor should it obstruct the license plate. Moreover, the license plate must be mounted using dedicated fastening devices. The first character on a license plate is a Chinese character representing the abbreviated name of the province where the vehicle is registered, followed by an English letter indicating the prefecture-level city code. The remaining five digits are sequential numbers. The functions of a license plate include: 1. Numbering and information registration for vehicles; 2. Identifying the vehicle's region of registration; 3. Enabling the tracing of the vehicle owner and registration details based on the license plate.

Is It Necessary to Clean Car Air Conditioning?

Cleaning car air conditioning is necessary. When the car air conditioning is turned on for cooling or heating, it operates by repeatedly circulating the indoor air of the car. Components of the car's indoor air circulation system, such as the evaporator, ventilation ducts, and blower, work in a dark and humid environment for a long time, accumulating dirt and breeding harmful microorganisms like pathogenic bacteria, mites, and mold. The car's air conditioning system must be cleaned, preferably before the summer season each year. This not only ensures the health and safety of the driver and passengers but also helps in saving fuel to some extent by maintaining a clean car air conditioning system.
